Imagine...a playground drawn and built from children's dreams.Joining...together with the entire community, young and old, working side by side.
To build...a safe, accessible, imaginative, educational, one-of-a-kind playground.
Community...the community-built process builds community.
The Junior Auxiliary of Vicksburg, MS is excited about a community project that is taking place right now in Vicksburg. Through a "grassroots" effort, the citizens of Vicksburg are joining hands to provide a state-of-the-art playground, not only for the children of Vicksburg, but for children throughout the area. What makes this project unique is that the playground is designed by the children, and the entire community will help with the fundraising and supply the labor to build the playground in only five days during the week of April 2-6, 2008!
The overall cost for the playground is $180,000. A community project, such as the Playground at Catfish Row, is a once in a lifetime investment that will not only produce an outstanding place where our children can grow and play, but it offers a tangible model for community involvement, service, cooperation, and leadership that will leave a lasting impact for the rest of their lives.
The Junior Auxiliary of Vicksburg would like to invite you to join with us in supporting this project with a tax-deductible donation and/or volunteer the five build days. There will be a permanent plaque at the playground to recognize component buyers and contributions for $1,000 or more.
